Publication number: 20240040035Abstract: Systems and methods for processing calls to determine if the call is potentially fraudulent or unwanted. The system extracts a speech signal from an audio signal associated with a call. The system identifies audio characteristics based on analysis of the audio signal. The system generates textual transcript of the audio signal based on automatic speech recognition of the speech signal, which is used to assign text categories for the call based on an automated multi-label textual classification of the textual transcript. The system assigns audio categories for the call based on automated multi-label acoustic classification of the speech signal. The system generates an output label for the call based on a combined analysis of the text categories, the audio categories, and the audio characteristics. The language spoken during the call may be detected and used to generate the textual transcript and to assign the text categories and the audio categories.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2022Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: Branimir Dropuljic, Michael J. Bordash

Publication number: 20230065069Abstract: Systems and methods for processing messages to determine if the message is potentially fraudulent. The system determines if a word in the message matches a known fraudulent word or a known safe word and labels the message as potentially fraudulent in response the word matching a known fraudulent word. Otherwise, the system determines a probability that the word is potentially fraudulent based on message context. In response to determining that the probability exceeds a first threshold, the system determines distances for each pair of word/known safe words (e.g., known brands). The system labels the message as potentially fraudulent in response to the distance of a pair exceeding a second threshold. If the message is labeled as potentially fraudulent it is discarded, otherwise it is forwarded towards the destination.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2021Publication date: March 2, 2023Inventors: Mirko Coric, Stefano Melucci, Michael J.

Patent number: 11093515Abstract: A method and system for improving an Internet based search is provided. The method includes generating an intent domain associated with a subject based intent classification. An unstructured data analysis process is executed with respect to a content corpus being associated with the subject based intent classification and a search phase entered in a search field of a graphical user interface with respect to a domain specific search query for specified subject matter. In response the subject based intent classification is determined to be associated with the search query and the subject based intent classification is compared to search results data. A subset of search results of the search results data correlating to the subject based intent classification is determined and ranked resulting in a ranked list. The subject based intent classification and the ranked list are presented to a user.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2019Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Gilbert Barron, Jasmine S.

Patent number: 10832277Abstract: This invention relates to a method, system and computer program for assessing enhanced dynamic keyword-based advertising campaigns, such that a site-level keyword search request of a web page is tracked, where the site-level keyword search request includes at least one search term. The frequency of usage of the search term of the site-level keyword search request is monitored, and the frequency of usage of the search term is compared with a predetermined value. At least one popular term is identified in response to comparing the frequency of usage of the search term with the predetermined value. The popular term is compared with a plurality of existing keyword-based advertising campaigns. It is determined whether the popular term is to be included in the advertising campaign included in the existing keyword-based advertising campaigns, whereby an effectiveness of the advertising campaign may be evaluated.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2017Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Michael J.

Patent number: 10614076Abstract: In embodiments, a ground truth table is used to help determine the relevance of a set of search results from a search query. The ground truth table comprises numerous items, along with a corresponding relevancy ranking for each item. Based on the user interaction with the set of search results, the ground truth table is modified, such that subsequent search queries provide improved results over time. The user interactions can include a click-through action, in which case a user clicked on (or otherwise selected) a search result entry. The user interactions can include a purchase action, wish list addition action, favorite list addition action, and/or a share action, among others. Based on the user interactions, the ranking of an entry in the ground truth table is adjusted. Then, subsequent searches that use the modified ground truth table can provide improved search results.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2016Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Gilbert Barron, Michael J.

Patent number: 9858355Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for search engine optimization based upon most popular search histories. The method includes a server receiving a search query from a user for a website, and corresponding search result data from the website. A determination is made whether a number of times the search query has been received by the website in a given time period exceeds a given popularity threshold value. The server stores the search query and corresponding search result data to a static html page when the popularity threshold is exceeded, then generates and stores a site map corresponding to the website to include the static html page.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2016Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Michael J.
